Key Points

This research aims to explore how gender, culture, and psychological factors influence entrepreneurial intentions among youth in Sidama, Ethiopia.
Conducted a sequential mixed-methods design combining a survey of 384 young people with key informant interviews and focus group discussions.
Employed binary logistic regression and various robustness checks to analyze the data.
Self-efficacy (OR = 2.10, p < 0.001), risk tolerance (OR = 1.80, p < 0.001), and proactiveness (OR = 2.41, p < 0.001) significantly increased entrepreneurial intention.
Female respondents reported higher entrepreneurial intentions than males (OR = 0.35, p < 0.001), contrary to findings in Western contexts.
